Happy Thanksgiving!

I snapped this pic while everyone was gathered around the table to celebrate the Holiday. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to my USA dwellers!

Quite the crowd. Two windows open with fans in them, one inlet, one exhaust. This old thermometer, located at eye level opposite the table, tales the tale best. My feet might be cold but my ears are burning. 😉

@TTony, looks like a "don't" in the handbook of computer cooling!

I was concerned when I went with the double stack design, for the upper row. But all is well. My main concern now is for the wood paneling behind this cube of doom. 🙂

Xeon's have a higher maximum operating temperature btw, an average of 20C higher. And those are all Xeons.

I have never been able to get the Dell's to run less than low 80C on the front processor (cheap aluminum sink with maybe 15 thick fins). Multiple brands of paste, even snipped the blue wire (PWM) on the 140mm intake (DON"T DO THAT WITHOUT EAR PLUGS 🙂 ), with no drop in temperature.

So, the Dell's are still chugging along, with no thermal throttling, just beyond the max of 81.3C in front (Dell's fault), and low 70's for the rear processors, while Bee and WUSS are a cozy 63-66C. With no thermal throttling, I assume CPUID's free Hardware Monitor may be reporting higher than actual temps, as it does not always agree with included MB monitoring software from ASUS or MSI.
